The Manchester Airport Police brutality press conference is absolutely damning.

It’s alleged that the mum was racially abused on the plane. The sons confronted the abuser & minutes later, MCR police were throwing punches, using tasers & threatening to kill the boys. Not only did they use excessive force on the boys, but they also allegedly hit a taser in the mother’s face & injured her eye. She thought her son was dead as he was lying limp on the ground. Absolutely disgusting.

If the officers are innocent, why were their bodycams off?

I’ve been working a small job as a GP receptionist recently & it is the most difficult & demanding job that I’ve ever worked… & I’ve worked in the media/politics.

The one thing that’s ultimately very clear is that govt underfunding is having a massive impact on primary care. A lot of people seem to have negative views of GP receptionists but it’s so draining. Only having four clinics a day to tens of thousands of patients is no way to offer healthcare to the public.

& we’re the ones who receive the abuse, not the government.
